Look no further if you're searching for a place that does microblading. Elsa is incredibly sweet and SO welcoming; it's great for people who's never done microblading before. She has a wonderful bedside manner and is super patient when it came to our questions and concerns. I brought my mom to Bare Beauty and Elsa took her time explaining the whole concept of the service and the process to her in Chinese and repeating everything in English for my convenience. She's quick to respond on WeChat if you have it, and we were lucky enough to schedule a last minute slot the day before. The whole scheduling process was seamless. We got there for a 1pm consultation (30 min), she applied numbing cream on the brows (20-30 min) and then the microblading process took a little over 1 hr. Elsa also provided aftercare instructions and a little packet of aftercare ointment. COVID precautions - it's practically pristine at her workshop!! the bathroom is so clean and there are 2 other sinks outside the bathroom for you to wash your hands. There's also a water cooler if you get thirsty. Pricing - set price is at $680 and although I found cheaper places in the city ranging from $500-600, there's few important factors to consider. 1) you need to consider the skillset of the specialist. Elsa's portfolio is massive and I loved her style, so that was a huge factor for me, 2) the first touch up is included within the first three months, 3) convenient location for those in Queens. You can park at Skyview (3 hrs for $3!). We're super satisfied with the whole experience and I'm excited to recommend her to my friends (and their mothers!!). She also has skincare services worth looking into.

Elsa is amazing! I highly recommend it! I was very nevous for my first time eyebrow microblading, but it turned out it's not that bad. For the first time, she spent a lot of time to find the eyebrow shape that I like. She then put a lot of the numbing cream and made the whole process so smooth and relaxing. When she was actually tattooing my eyebrows, I didn't feel anything. I love my eyebrows, I love her work and the results. They look very natural. She is very professional and nice person. Don't hesitate, make you first appointment with her and you won't be disappointed!

After first session- 80/20.

Elsa is a brows magician, if you'll believe it. I know I wholeheartedly do. Prior to going to Elsa, I went to somebody else [who I will not name] who is deemed as prestigious in the microblading world. I went with high expectations given her reputation, paid a pretty penny, but was met with disappointment. The person never discussed anything other than brow shape with me. For the next ~2 years, I was left with lop-sided, reddish-orange tinted brows [because supposedly, that's more natural. Insert eyeroll, please], an on/off allergic reaction on this random part of my brow, and mental trauma of doing microblading again. But giiiirl, I knew it had to be done again. So I rolled up my sleeves and did my research on yelp and instagram for a few months, and stumbled upon Elsa @ Bare Beauty. I stalked her social media for a good while, before gathering my courage to message her for pricing and an appointment. Traveling to her was worth everything because she instantly makes you feel welcomed. Elsa is SUPER personable. During my first visit, I was instructed to remove my eyebrows [the one I drew on, of course], and she was appalled with the color, and even more appalled after she found out who did it. She then walked me through what she felt was best for me in this situation, the shape that she felt would match me most, and then proceeded to draw it out for me with eyeliner, measuring with a ruler to ensure that the brows are even. I agreed with her shape immediately. Then she recommends the color that she feels would work best for me, especially given that I already had the red/orange tint. Ugh. We decided on an 80/20 for a more natural look. As previous yelpers have mentioned, she is also super generous with her numbing cream. I didn't feel a single thing throughout the process because she would continuously reapply more throughout the course of treatment. Yes, I am going to compare her with my previous person again because during my touch up session with she-who-must-not-be-named, there was a time where the numbing cream wore off and I felt every stroke! It was terrible. Not this time. Anyway, so she's doing her thang, we chat like old friends, and then 1~1.5 hours later, I leave the studio with the fleekiest of brows. I was then told that there is a inclusive 3 month touch-up, and that I could schedule it closer to the 3 month mark, so that it would benefit me more. Cue the comparing again, because with she-who-must-not-be-named, I felt like I had to hunt her down for the touch-up. No return texts, emails or anything. And it was within a 1 month period. I damn near lost my inclusive touch up, because I couldn't reach her! But you know what Elsa did? She messaged me about 1~1.5 month after my initial treatment to remind me to make that appointment. She also sent me a reminder message the week of my appointment. Take that for A+ customer service. During the first week, aka the scabbing process, I was super nervous [traumatized] and Elsa was quick to respond when I sought her advice. The touch-up was as much of a breeze as with the first session. She decided that a darker color would work for me, so she changed it to 90/10, and again, she worked her magic. I left with even fleekier eyebrows than the first time. I will def come back to Elsa when my brows fade. Hopefully she doesn't get so popular that she can't fit me in her schedule anymore. xoxo to you, Elsa :)

After one year! I grew out my brows. A lot of my tattoo has faded except for the center parts.

One year update! It has been one year since I've had my eyebrows tattooed with Elsa and I must say that much of the outer parts of my brows have faded. This actually happened 4 months after the touch up. I don't blame this on the tattoo or the artist! Please see below if you have a similar issue! The tattoo was lovely, but if anyone who uses AHAs or any type of acid peels, or Retin A - you MUST apply around your eyebrows and not even close to them because this will cause the tattoo to fade faster. The tattoo is semi permanent and only on the upper layers of your skin, so peels and acid would cause the tattoo to fade quite quickly. I also developed a dry patch and some loss of my natural brows for the first 6 months which took months to heal. If this happens to anyone, use vitamin E oil or Argan oil. Elsa offers a one time touch up within one year for 260$! I would definitely take up this offer - unfortunately I missed my deadline! :(

You can see it started scabbing within a week.

This was a 2 hrs procedure so show up early! Place is clean and Elsa was very friendly and professional. She uses disposable blades so it's very sanitary. Ink that is used are placed in small container for one time use. She'll go over the best color to match your skin tone and best shape for your face. Elsa took time to explain the procedure and what I can expect. I am very pleased with the end result. It has saved me loads of time getting ready to go out. I also took advantage of the free touch up when I wanted to go darker. The free touch up is for a limited time after the initial treatment so make sure you note it on your calendar. I have included pictures of the step by step procedure done to me. Aftercare was explained thoroughly and a treatment packet was included. This is like any tattoo you get, stay away from the sun or else it will fade faster. I scheduled this around my one week vacation. There will be scabbing which will come off within a week or more. I scratched my eyebrow by accident when it was incredibly itching during the healing process. This made the area slightly lighter than the rest. So be careful about that.

This was right after the procedure. It will scab and fade a little in color.

Omg!!!!! I love my eyebrows!!!! I've done Microblading with Elsa. She was such a pleasure to work with. This experience was the best ever. It didn't even hurt at all. She put a lot of numbing cream at first and during the process she kept applying so it wouldn't hurt. She was so professional! She drew my shape that I was satisfied with to my liking and than she measured it so it would be even. Yassss!!!! I can't stand that eyeballing nonsense that other people do like the last place I done mircoblading with that was suppose to be the best. I paid $1800 at eyebrow doctor and wait a year for my appointment. Elsa killed it! I'm so pleased and happy with my eyebrows.

This is a before and after picture of my eyebrows. Love my new eyebrows!!!

Barebeauty is definitely the place to go for your semi-permanent eyebrows and eyeliner. For my entire life, I have struggled to shape and maintain my eyebrows. Until I found barebeauty. I cannot thank Elsa enough for her professionalism and patience. My prior experience with threading and waxing left me with enlarged pores and sensitive skin. However, being a talented make-up artist with sharp eyes, Elsa designed an eyebrow shape and color that is perfect for me. It's hard to admit but I must say that I am a picky person, but Elsa was patient and she worked with me to meet my expectation. Elsa was very thorough in every part of the process. The quality of her work is incredible and the technique Elsa used made my eyebrows look super natural. The place is very clean and comfortable. It has been about 8 months now and the color has not fade a bit. (I did a touch-up one month later) Since then I have received many compliments about how my eyebrows look so natural and good. Getting my eyebrows done with Elsa is the best choice I made in my life. I would highly recommend barebeauty to everyone.

Before and after on the day of procedure, then a photo three months later.  I couldn't be happier!

Confession time: I have been a yelp leech for years but have never participated in giving reviews. I found BareBeauty on yelp and decided to give it a shot because the before and after photos were the best I've seen. I'm a research nut so I spent a lot of time comparing all the temp makeup places around from LI, Queens, the city, Brooklyn and even fort lee. My natural eyebrows are almost non existent. When I didn't color them in people would ask me what's wrong, and say I look sick lol. I've been coloring in my brows for almost 15 years. It's been a struggle, a few good days a lot of terribly uneven, one arched one flat brow days. When I first saw this temp feathering tattoo technique I was hooked. Waking up with even, dark, natural looking eyebrows? Take my money! So I did the procedure with Elsa almost three months ago. Let me tell you, she is the most charming, witty, honest person and she has an amazing talent for this. This is her craft and she has mastered it with perfection. She makes the most precise strokes to give the brow definition while making it look natural. I no longer draw in my eyebrows! It's ah mazing and has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. I was at the beach, in the pool, at the gym all summer and didn't have to worry about my eyebrows! I know you girls feel me! And I'm saving at least five mins a day, 35 mins a week, 30 hours a year... coloring my brows if I didn't get this done! Lasts up to four years so I'm getting 5 full days of my life back, not spent in front of a mirror trying to draw in even eyebrows! I'm starting to sound like an infomercial so I'm going to end with this: Service: 5 stars Atmosphere: 5 stars Eyebrows: 5 stars

I won't even show what they looked like before lol... That's a distant nightmare.

Elsa microbladed eyebrows & was immensely helpful every step of the way. She was available via text to answer my questions throughout the healing process & she checked in with me constantly about the shape, the color, & the pain level (very minimal as she applies topical anesthetic frequently). At no point did I feel rushed or like she didn't care, quite the opposite. I was so grateful that not only did I have help from a skilled practitioner but this scary procedure became a joy as we connected with each visit & I felt safe under her steady hand & well informed guidance. It's no surprise she's on the Top 10 Microbladers in NYC. Her prices also are better than all the rest. Please prepare to tip well, you won't be disappointed. Also her sister who works with her in the beautiful space offers gorgeous eyelash extensions at great prices! I'm happy to serve as a reference for questions about Elsa's work if needed...

After 2 months, no editing
